Holiday revelers of all ages packed into historic downtown Redlands Saturday, Dec. 2, to watch the festivities unfold. Hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Redlands, the parade celebrated its 28th year by showcasing the hope and joy of the season, which just happened to be this year’s theme.

Organizers said they hope the parade theme “pervades the holiday season and the new year to come,” in a news release issued before the event.
